Fig. 5. Study of the effect of 200 mM of various chemical compounds on the development of “Normal” hsp-6::gfpC. elegans embryos.

a Influence of NaCl, d-glucose, and l-glucose on the bean-to-twitching and twitching-to-hatching time intervals. Mitochondrial stress induction in embryos was shown by the background-corrected fluorescence during the initial 300 min of embryogenesis for b 200 mM NaCl, c 200 mM d-glucose, and d 200 mM l-glucose compared to the control condition. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM, *p ≤ 0.05 and **p ≤ 0.01. All measurements were based on N = 6–27 embryos
